Portals connecting the Earth to the Sun, called FLEs or Flux Transfer Events, connect the Earth to the Sun temporarily every 8 minutes. This connection transfers energy from the sun to Earth. This information was presented at the 2008 Plasma Workshop in Huntsville, Alabama.

Around the Earth, there is an invisible magnetic field containing energy particles from the Sun. The field is a bubble that surrounds the planet like the atmosphere. When a part of the world is receiving sunlight, during the daytime, a cylinder connects the bubble to the sun. In the cylinder, energy is transferred and can be traced from the Earth to the Sun.

How do we know these are real? They sound made up, maybe out of Star Wars, but they are very real. NASA sent space ships to survey the size of the cylinder. The ships were able to read the energy particles traveling through the cylinder, proving they were present. Now, so they are easier to predict, scientists know how much energy flows through at a given time so they can simulate it on computers.
